I've done several of these for the KIA dealer and have only found tach in the DKP on PTS vehicles. Also, I primarily use crimestopper RS4-G3 and always use the fuel injectors for my tach signal with no problem but it all depends on the unit that you are using. The compustar units I use work perfect with the coil but the crimestopper doesn't for some reason.I drink current, eat ohms, and bleed voltage

I did 2 2012 reg key optimas this morning both gdi and neither one had the gray tach wireIf i Can't Install it    I Don't need it   Joe

Can anyone identify the (-) unlock wire in the SJB. I need a trigger wire for the remote start so I can use the factory fob. Picture would be awesome.

The (-) Unlock wire is the Yellow/White wire shown in the picture of the White 24 Pin Fuse Box connector.

However, the typical installation of a "Add-On" remote start system that uses the Factory remote for activation usually uses the Lock Motor wire ( not the Unlock Motor wire ). This Lock Motor wire can be found in the Black 39 Pin Plug, Gray wire at Pin 4, in the dash fuse box. It is a 5 wire type and should show a (+) pulse with a lock command.

One point of interest : Once the engine is started, by key or remote starter, the Factory FOB's will no longer function. You will have to open the doors with a key... Due to this, most installers will recommend a R/S w/Keyless Entry system for this vehicle.

Soldering is fun!

I guess you could use the Unlock Motor wire if you didn't mind having the car unlocked after the remote start-up. The Unlock Motor wire for the drivers door can be found in the Drivers Kick Panel, in a White 56 Pin plug. It is the Red wire at Pin 11. Same 5 wire type setup. Sorry, no picture available.Soldering is fun!

Sorry my brain wasn't really working when I posted. What I meant was the (-) lock wire so I can use the lock wire as a trigger. I am new to the forum and I am still learning the terminology. What is important about the five wire setup? Can I not just hook the (-) lock wire you described to the (-) remote activation wire on my remote start? Or, is there something I'm missing?

I have hooked up a crimestopper rs-00 using a Fortin EVO-ALL bypass module in a 2012 Optima with Push to Start. The EVO-ALL does allow the factory FOB to keep working even after the remote start is active. There are two problems I am dealing with. First: I can't get the lock motor wire to work as my trigger. I am using a relay wired per the instructions on this forum for reversing the (+) lock motor wire to be used as a (-) trigger wire. I cannot get the wire to trigger the remote start. If I touch the trigger on a ground, it will activate the remote start so I know the unit is working properly. The wire I am using is a gray wire from the plug on the rear of the SJB on the passenger side and the one in the picture. Is this the correct wire, and if so, any ideas why it isn't triggering the remote start? Second: The EVO-ALL said it supports hood switch but the remote start doesn't shut down when I open the hood. Can anyone help me identify the location of the connector and the wire color for the (-) hood wire so I can direct wire the hood shutdown? Thanks

As far as the hood pin its in the front of the fuse box green kreg has a picture of it in his original post    I've never used the lock motor wire but all my info says gray black 39 pin plug pin 4   did you test the wire you connected to ?If i Can't Install it    I Don't need it   Joe

Is the hood pin in the driver side or passenger side plug in the front of the sjb? I thought the picture I posted was the black 39 pin connector but the wire is only gray. No black stripe. Am I looking in the wrong plug? I tested it and the gray wire has positive that drops on the lock command but doesn't go to zero volts. This is the passenger side connector on the back of the sjb. Am I even in the right connector?
